2012 M5 Cut
I do not know how credible this rumour is, however, a post on Autoblog from a supposed reputable source seems to indicte that BMW will not produce an F10 M5. This seems to counter the prior posts that they are testing a variant right now with a V8 engine.

What may be true out of all this is that they have made no decision on what to do: Rumormill: BMW looking at cheaper 5 Series Gran Turismo, rules out M model — Autoblog

It really just says that the 5 GT won't get an M model. Which is more than fine as that thing looks awful.

Gustav and I saw a black/camouflaged M5 mule parked at BMW M in Garching a couple of weeks ago. They referred to it as an M5 prototype/mule, so it is being developed for sure. I can't see any reason not to produce it.
